Unit Description
Gallon per Second (gal/s)
Definition
Gallon per second (gal/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid in gallons passing through a given area per second. It's used for high-flow applications in American systems.
History
The gal/s unit developed for high-capacity water and fluid handling systems in the United States. It became useful for large pumping systems, fire protection, and industrial applications where gallon-per-minute measurements would result in very large numbers.
Current Use
Gal/s is used in large-scale water systems, fire protection, high-capacity pumps, and industrial fluid handling in the United States. It's standard for large pump specifications, fire suppression systems, and major water distribution system measurements.
Cubic Meter per Hour (m³/h)
Definition
Cubic meter per hour (m³/h) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing the volume of fluid passing through a given area in one hour. It provides a convenient scale for continuous process measurements and system capacity ratings.
History
The m³/h unit became important with the development of continuous industrial processes and utility systems where hourly flow measurements were more practical than per-second or per-minute rates. It was particularly useful for water supply, gas distribution, and chemical processing.
Current Use
M³/h is extensively used in water supply systems, gas distribution networks, chemical processing, and building services. It's standard for water meter readings, gas flow measurements, pump capacity ratings, and continuous process flow monitoring in industrial applications.
